I know this one is very subtle for this thread, but I really like how the description on this $40,000+ guitar says "a couple of tiny extra holes," without any further description of said holes, or photos.

Maybe under the pickguard when someone in the late 1970's wanted to add a brass pickguard to it.

70s mustang body and 80s Lead II neck apparently.
not bad at all if you ask me..
thurston style mustang... something i've been thinking about several times...
That body looks really long to me like it might be from a Bass V - you can even slightly make out finish fading where a bridge cover would have gone...

From what I can see, in order to make that playable it will need at least one new saddle, a pickguard, and new strings. Maybe other things too... :fp: ;D
